/takes a little breath amidst a quiet dash. Starter call!
Though I have threads/asks to get to, I'm curious if one of these would catch anyone's attention. I know sending in sentence starters isn't always up everyone's alley and it's a little harder when it comes to interacting with a character who's canonically dead in present day, like mine. Although (I need to write up the details for the first iteration of it) I do have her resurrected in a present timeline (see tags). If you're interested in me either coming to you, or fishing up something with a bit of a red line, give this a like and I'll see what I can do! Trust me when I say, if we're mutuals, I'm interested in writing with you. See this as a little cheat to grab my attention if you want it!

I remember seeing a lot of people saying things like "oh people assume you're cishet before you come out because it's most common/seen as the default..." But I disagree. Cishet isn't the default in any way, even if common. My take of the day:
Aroace agender is the human default.
Everyone starts off as a baby. And babies are inherently aaa because. Obviously. Babies do not see bodies as anything (other than mother's milk which is food), it's not sexual. Babies do not want romance, only platonic love is enough. Babies don't understand gender stereotypes, and therefore everything is agender. It's just "thing", not "masculine thing" or "feminine thing".
As they grow up, kids of certain ages start understanding and putting weight on gender, giving them a gender identity/ideal. Their bodies look the same as their peers (purely body shape, ignoring hair and clothing etc), so they are the same, therefore there is no "two(or more) genders", and it's just "child".
Most children don't start feeling any kind of romantic attraction until a certain age (if ever). Sexual attraction comes much later too, when teens "discover themselves"(aka coming out as not ace) (if they're not ace).
All this to say, cishet is not default. Kis shouldn't have to "come out" as not cishet, because they shouldn't be assumed to be cishet in the first place. Adults shouldn't push their views onto kids who have yet to even understand these concepts, much less worry about it yet.

so since Valentines is tomorrow i just!! wanted to go ahead and say my part to also, celebrate Aromantic Awareness Week too by mentioning that we never talk about how romance, at its core, is a friendship more than anything! you can have your sex and sensual intimacy and kissing but, the thing is, it all goes back to people just. genuinely craving companionship. hddklsjdslk maybe it's just me being Demi personally but i think, to water romance down (as a lot of most media does) to just the sexual tension, or kissing, or flirting is doing us all a disservice. that stuff is all well and good! but to me romance has always been more than that.
it's about getting to know your partner better than you know yourself. it's about wanting to spend the rest of your life with them, and share in the highs and lows of what it may bring. it's a bond you have that is no less stronger than a friendship and, again, a friendship--that is practiced through a different lens--is a great way to describe it i think at its root. everything else is just a reflection of that.
above all else, romance begins with having a best friend.
and i think that's a very beautiful thing!

the elspethian conundruum of conscripting the son of ur family's murderer in the hopes he dies horribly during his joining bc u want vengeance and yet are too self righteous to kill him yourself. ofc you're also not actually altruistic enough to let him go so you just pray to the maker it goes sideways and then it DOESNT and now you have to sit with the knowledge that u are a bad person for wanting him dead while he fucks around and raids the larder of Your castle bc he infuriatingly knows it better than you do. and you guys are literally platonic soulmates btw <3
